About Glaholt Bowles LLP
Glaholt Bowles LLP is a Toronto law firm that practices construction law exclusively, working out of an office on Adelaide Street West. The firm acts for owners, contractors, subcontractors and design professionals across Canada and internationally, and its lawyers have represented parties in construction arbitrations in North America, Europe and Africa. The practice covers the full range of dispute resolution options for the industry, from traditional litigation to arbitration, mediation and the statutory adjudication process Ontario introduced for construction disputes on October 1, 2019.
The firm traces back to founder Duncan Glaholt. It operated as Glaholt LLP as recently as 2019, before adopting its current name, Glaholt Bowles LLP, which reflects partner Brendan Bowles. Duncan Glaholt now runs an independent alternative dispute resolution practice separate from the firm, but the firm still credits the founder's early direction as central to its history. Brendan Bowles is a Law Society of Ontario Certified Specialist in Construction Law, and firm members teach construction law courses at the University of Toronto and Queen's University.
Glaholt Bowles lawyers have also co-authored construction law references, including the Construction and Alternative Dispute Resolution titles of Halsbury's Laws of Canada and Construction, Builders' and Mechanics' Liens in Canada.
